Thanks man, hopefully be back on the road soon and we can go wheeling. I'd really like to hit up that place by Fredericksburg you were telling me about.

Canyons?

I believe that's it! Man there's more power wagons in Texas than I realized, we should have a lonestar GTG one of these days

I know the guys that own/run canyons. Couldn't ask for better; Holland will give the shirt off his back if he thinks you need it. I haven't been able to make it out there though, even though my house is 30 minutes from there. I went to Katemcy a handful of times when it was open. Work kills my free time. Anyway, there's another place south of Junction I've heard good things about, Trees Off Road Ranch. It's like Canyons though, only open on certain weekends. I'd like to make it to Hidden Falls before the year is out though, they're open every weekend.

I've been going to to hidden falls and trees for like 6 years. Canyons my schedule never hits it right. But all my buddies have gone and said its smaller but lots of trails.

I can't wheel again hard until I weld my tubes and I get another vehicle. Gotta drive the wagon to work in Louisiana every month at 522 miles each way lol. Knocking down 13 miles a gallon on 40's not to bad. Looking at another job right now. It will be a pretty good pay cut but right next to house with company truck. We will see what happens.

I'd be down for wheeling anyplace you guys want really once I'm back running. Good luck with the job 05!

Parts are starting to come in so I can get back to work now, have a bench full of stuff and my new rear shocks finally came in!

Those are beautiful!

Like the idea of a Texas GTG. Although I feel as though i would need to put a lot more money into my truck to make it with y'all.

Colibri · Post by **Colibri** » Wed Oct 14, 2015 3:09 pm

Nah, fun for all and all for fun. We should do a Texas gtg, even bone stock power wagons can do pretty amazing stuff. Everyone just do what they're comfortable with and it'll be a good time :winchmob:

Got the rear hubs done. New races bearings and seals as well as upgraded hardware for the spindle locks. Stage8 DNA-60. Much beefier than the factory setup and far easier to use.

2wagons1driveway · Post by **2wagons1driveway** » Fri Oct 16, 2015 8:55 pm

That's such a. Good idea. I had a lock ring come loose on my 10.5 last month and it pissed a ton of fluid out all around the front of the rim. Checked it it appears that it just wasn't put on 100% easy to come off either way... Unfortunate design

It'll fit the 10.5 too lee, you're troubles are one of the reasons I made the upgrade lol

Nice. I'll look into it possibly. I posted on dtx and it appears that same situation has never happened to ANYONE Else so maybe I'm justa. Weirdo
